write to the registry

InternalError · Aug 1st, 2001, 03:03 PM

how would you write to the registry?

**filburt1** · Aug 1st, 2001, 03:05 PM

Any part of the registry, or just to store your program's settings?

InternalError · Aug 1st, 2001, 03:06 PM

yea any part, i want it to run when windows starts...

**Bloodeye** · Aug 1st, 2001, 03:06 PM

Here you go.....everything you ever wanted to know about the registry, and then some.

That would be the key HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run.

**eiSecure** · Aug 1st, 2001, 03:08 PM

Alternatively, if you want it to run as a service, HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunService

InternalError · Aug 1st, 2001, 03:09 PM

yea, but how would i tell vb to put my app in that reg section

**filburt1** · Aug 1st, 2001, 03:09 PM

Services start even before a user logs on, so watch out.

The posting just never stops with me, does it eiSecure?

Follow that link.

**eiSecure** · Aug 1st, 2001, 03:10 PM

Here's a modules to write/read from the registry. Just call GetStringValue or SetStringValue.

**filburt1** · Aug 1st, 2001, 03:13 PM

Dude, stop making your text a link. You already have a signature.

InternalError · Aug 1st, 2001, 03:14 PM

**filburt1** · Aug 1st, 2001, 03:15 PM

No prob.

We BOTH helped, eiSecure.

**eiSecure** · Aug 1st, 2001, 03:15 PM

Yeah, but I provided the code.

**filburt1** · Aug 1st, 2001, 03:17 PM

But I provided the long-ass registry key that he could have found in 5 seconds! HA HA! TAKE THAT! *jabs eisecure with a stick*

**eiSecure** · Aug 1st, 2001, 03:18 PM

I've been in front of a 19-inch monitor for 6 hours. It starts to screw with your mind.
